Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

A glow that never turns greasy, plus skin that feels plumped, juicy and bouncy, is what this watery toner wins love for. The one complaint is a tacky, slightly heavy finish from butylene glycol, which some find too much for summer and would save for drier winter skin. Gurus also point to arbutin, glutathione and a peptide-packed formula for brightening.

    "It's a really nice toner with a moderate texture, not too liquidy and not too runny, with a little bit of thickness that makes it nice to pat into your skin, maybe in your evening routine. It has sea buckthorn water, which is great for brightening skin, ethyl ascorbic acid, glutathione, ascorbic acid, arbutin, and Japanese gold thread, all great antioxidants and brightening ingredients. This whole lineup from Numbuzin is pretty wonderful. If you haven't tried it, it's worth checking out."

    "It's a nice, wonderful toner. I mean, my skin has a nice glow after I use it. It's very unique. I cannot find any close dupes or alternatives at all to this one. [...] If you want something with NAD plus, resveratrol, and 50 peptides, this is it. There's no alternative really close that I've found. [...] I love the inclusion of 50 peptides, even in small amounts. I'm a big fan. And you might as well expose your skin to as much of these beneficial ingredients as you can."

    "Butylene glycol is pretty high up there and it's a pretty sticky ingredient, that's probably why it's so tacky. I'd love to use this more during the daytime, maybe during the winter when my skin gets drier it'll soak it up a little bit better, but for right now I think it's a bit too much for the summer. It does end up feeling kind of heavy on your skin."

    "But nothing wrong with throwing it in there and leaving it in there since it's got some brightening ingredients. Arbutin is in there, glutathione is another good one. It feels very nice, very happy with it. Yeah, feels nice, so far so good. And I think it did a pretty good job removing my leftover oil and skin care products."

    "When I saw the alcohol in the toner, I was a little surprised and taken aback. I was not expecting that. I did check out the ingredient list, but obviously not enough, and I probably would have still bought it anyway. Feels really nice though. It's not dry. Well, so far it's not drying. I used it last night and then again today. [...] It has no real scent to it, which makes it a winner."

    "I'll apply it with a cotton pad and then smooth it over skin. Leaves skin feeling really nice. It does have a little bit of alcohol in there, but for me it's not a problem. I follow up with some nice hydrating products afterwards. It has salmon PDRN, [...] NAD which is a vitamin shown to be very good for your skin, [...] resveratrol which is a great antioxidant, the argireline peptide Botox in a bottle peptide, as well as the Matrixyl 3000 peptide duo, and [...] about 50 total peptides in this."

[...] You can apply it with a cotton pad or just pat it onto your skin.

    "They also do a toner version in the same line. It has the NAD, the 50 peptides, and a little touch of PDRN, which is another pro collagen ingredient, and it has a light luminosity to it. It's going to really help you cheat a good skin day, give you that glow up in the immediate term, and give you all that anti-aging in the long term. If you want the glow up, get the toner."

    Breakthrough SKIN FIRMING ROUTINE - One Product Changes It All
    "This is the Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin Boosting Toner. It's the tiny travel size. They do a full-size version too, but I just happen to have the travel size, which is super convenient. This kickstarts my peptide flooding because it has 50 different peptides plus NAD, which is proven to lift and firm too. It's a great little toner to start things with, and it works so, so well. It almost lays the foundation of your peptide work."
    BEST SERUM FOR GLOWING SKIN - 2x Brighter Skin Fast
    "I adore this. From the second I used it, I fell in love. Not only do you have some great anti-aging ingredients from that NAD, that PDRN, both proven to boost collagen and elastin, but you also have some pearlescent, light-reflecting pigments in here, which give you that instant radiance boost. You put this on the skin and your skin just appears lifted. Not only does it boost plumpness, it definitely increases hydration, and you get that almost pearlescent look to the skin."

    "It is the best toner I have ever used, and that comes from somebody who is a toner skeptic. I was generally someone who rarely used toners before I discovered this. I just didn't see the need for them, and this completely changed my perspective. It gives you the nicest glow up. [...] I've been putting a little on today, and it gives you that nice little glow without looking greasy and oily. It is packed full of PDRN and NAD to boost collagen and elastin and help fade hyperpigmentation."
    My Perfect ANTI AGING ROUTINE 2026 - Nothing Beats This For Anti Aging
    "This is amazing. It has 50 different peptides, glows you up in a flash, and is just really good for hyperpigmentation and anti-aging. I actually decanted it into a little spray bottle that I had, because I just happened to like the atomizer on this one. I like the variety in application and I like a mist, and the spray on it is phenomenal. Absolutely love it. These 50 different peptides really focus on plumping, fading hyperpigmentation, and hydration."

    "Numbuzin are a great example of this with this particular range that I love. If you're feeling bougie and extra, you can actually use multiple versions of this in the same routine for maximum benefit. The toner is a great option if you love toner action in your skincare routine, something that's super convenient on the go, or you can use the pads, which you can also use like stick to your face and leave on for 10 minutes as a leave on treatment."
    BEST TONER EVER? - Korean Skincare Toner ( TirTir Milk Skin Toner Review )
    "The blend of ingredients is divine, same bouncy feel on the skin, and it doesn't leave behind any stickiness or tackiness. I like the fact you've got that glutathione, and whilst I think the Tirtir is going to be like the very best for hydrating the skin, this is a great one for hydrating and also fading hyperpigmentation at the same time. That for me is a winner. Numbuzin knocked it out of the park when it came to this product. I'm giving this a solid 10 out of 10 for sure."
    The END OF PDRN - From Viral To Fail In 12 Months
    "I also really love the Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin Boosting Toner. I have sung the praise of this product so, so often. Actually, I think what's doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this product is the peptides and the other anti-aging ingredients, but it also has a dose of PDRN in there too. So if you want PDRN almost as a little add-on rather than a core ingredient in your skincare routine, this is a great product to go for."

It brightens the skin, it gives you an instant glow up and luminosity, and it calms and soothes at the same time.

You could technically skip this step [...] if you're not a fan of toners and essences, you don't need to use them at this point, but I like it because I think it adds a little extra hydration. It's a slightly optional step."

    "Gives instant glow up and luminosity, like instant glass skin in a bottle, plus long term anti-aging from the peptides, brightening from the NAD, [...] and hydration and plumping. Works as an essence or toner, hydrating toner, peptide serum, anti-aging fix, and glow up all in one, super inexpensive. Picked up the travel size for a holiday, but would normally recommend buying the full size since it's more cost effective."

    "This also gives you the nicest glow, [...] that lit from within glow that isn't greasy looking, it's not tacky in the slightest, it's just a guaranteed good skin day because of that pearlescent hue. If you're looking for something slightly more lightweight in terms of your toner or essence, then the Numbuzin is great, and I'd recommend the large size over the travel size because it's slightly better value for money."

    "It's [...] a toner but it feels almost like an essence. If you look at the ingredients list there's a lot going on besides just humectant hydrating ingredients, there's NAD+, PDRN, and about 50 peptides. It's a nice booster product for a skincare routine. I'm not mad at it, I would happily use this again, and with everything going on in the formula it can double as a toner and an essence in a routine."

    GLOW UP OVERNIGHT! PM Skincare Routine for Plump, Glowing, Glass Skin in the AM!
    "This is the Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin Boosting Toner. I love this one. It's really watery and lightweight, and it really plumps up my skin. I use about two layers of this to achieve some nice hydration. It has NAD+ and PDRN in it, and lots and lots of peptides, but I just really like this as a plumping, hydrating base for the rest of my skincare products."

    "It's also really pretty. There's a pearlescent effect to the texture that I find very entertaining. I do about two layers of it. It's really nice and light. There are some peptides, NAD+, and some PDRN in here. Honestly, I'm really just using this for the hydration. Hydration can go a long way to making your skin look fresh, plump, lifted, and healthy, and that's really the aim of my routine today, especially in spring."

    "I think this is my second bottle of the toner. It's very watery, it's lightweight, it's quickly absorbed into the skin, and it's very deeply hydrating. It [...] does my skin well. It's not the one I'd reach for when my skin is in the deepest parts of dehydration, [...] but now that my skin is in good shape, we're moving into early spring, and my skin is going to lean a little more oily."

    "It all comes together in a toner that hydrates and plumps your skin. Your skin is going to feel really juicy and very firm and bouncy. But over time as you consistently use this, you're going to notice that there's going to be a perkup in your complexion, particularly for folks who have a little bit of unevenness or dullness to your skin tone. I think you're going to see a lot of benefit from using a product like this."

    "It absolutely brightens your skin. [...] In my experience, what it's worked for fading is those marks left over from acne. I get a lot of those and I'm constantly dealing with it, so it really helps to fade those. As far as long-term sun freckles and damage, [...] not quite as meaningful. I would definitely go for some of the more concentrated, targeted treatments [...] for that. But if you're just looking to fade [...] fresh acne marks, this helps that a lot."

It really helped with the hyperpigmentation from some of the inflammatory pimples I had gone through. [...] I just think it brought a really beautiful glow to my skin. I'm also always working on sun damage and there's still those few stubborn spots on my cheeks that I feel like this has helped, though it's way too soon for me to really report on that."

    "This is the number five vitamin boosting essential toner. This is a hydrating toner. It definitely hydrates and plumps up the skin. It has a little bit of a thicker texture than the number one toner does, but it has the benefits of an essence. It helps to really brighten up your skin complexion and also helps to address dark marks or hyperpigmentation left over from things like acne or even a dull or uneven skin tone."

    "The layer of this toner feels like three. It's incredibly thick in a light way. You have to use it to know what I mean. It feels like it's wrapping your skin in this hydration barrier. It's so, so nice. I have emptied it time and time again. I gave this such a good review on my TikTok, but then the brand wanted to work with me and I made a video for them. It didn't do as well. I should have just used that as a review. But I love it. I love it so much."

    What Anti-Aging Creams REALLY Do (and Why It's Not a Bad Thing)
    "I was honestly very reluctant to try it at first, because I feel like this is one of those products influencers were going on about so much that I thought, they're exaggerating, they can't love it this much. It got to a point where people asked me to try it and it got annoying, so I was like, fine, I'll just try it. And I loved it. I get why they love it so much. The star ingredients in here are NAD+, PDRN, and 50 different peptides, all powerhouses in skin regeneration."
